242 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

LOCTITE 242 is an acrylic-based, one-component adhesive designed for the locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. It provides medium strength, requiring standard hand tools for disassembly.

 

The product cures when confined between close-fitting metal surfaces in the absence of air, preventing loosening and leakage caused by shock and vibration. Its thixotropic nature reduces migration after application.

 

LOCTITE 242 is suitable for less active substrates like plated surfaces. It is tested to the requirements of Military Specification Mil-S-46163A and general requirements defined in ASTM D5363.

 

Key properties include a specific gravity of 1.1 at 25°C and a medium, thixotropic viscosity. The cure speed depends on the substrate and temperature, with faster curing possible with an activator.
